Publisher's Description

Stop being disappointed by a cafe's Wi-Fi and its ability to keep up to date with your favorite tunes. Wondershare Streaming Audio Recorder offers an all in one solution to recording everything required, and saves the radio broadcasts, songs and other favorite online streams that you love. That means you'll have the ability to enjoy your favorites any time in exceptional quality on all the most used devices without spending any money. Note: The Streaming Audio Recorder adheres to all legalities and is legal for use.

All you do is hit the record button.

Get your browser open and click the audio streaming you'd like to own. Without straying from the page, you'll need to click the record button. Press play on the page with your audio streaming and you'll be able to keep whatever you recorded for life. The software automatically divides between the songs and the tracks so that you can filter out ads and enjoy songs without disruptions.

Set it up and forget about it.

You won't always be there to get your favorite radio shows when they come on. Wondershare Streaming Audio Recorder has a task scheduler to deal with that for you. You have a clock to begin and end the recording as well as shut the program down after it's done its job. Once you return, you'll have your favorite radio show ready for you to listen to without any commercial interruptions.

Make your recordings personalized

Once you have a recording, you can divide audio files so that your favorite parts are more apparent in the recording. You can get details from every recording, which include the artist's name, the album of the song and the genre of the music automatically. Change any tags manually, shoot it over to iTunes and just continue making your own playlists within the Wondershare Streaming Audio Recorder program.

Make phone ringtones of your music lists

Customized ringtones can be created from your favorite songs in just three easy steps. Choose one of your recorded tracks and right click then select the "Make Ringtone" Option in the menu. A bitmap for the track will pop up. Once it does, choose the music piece you wish to have as a ringtone, save and then send it directly to your phone. You'll need to finish up by exporting the ringtone.

Enormous opportunity exists for an app developer to get this right...because this app doesn't. You might think all the great apps have been created - think again.
In it's favor: Rejected all the 'crapware' installs and then clicked on a separately downloaded track, and Itunes opened to play it just fine - so it did not take over as default audio player

Cons

Does not recognize separate tracks, does not pick up commercials despite being set to the default settings (autosplit if silence more than 300ms). One of the songs it did not recognize (unknown artist) was Elvis Costello's "Red shoes".

Summary

Ran the 24 min recording in audacity - and of course it is easy to see the commercials and edit them out. But why pay $$ if you have to take this extra step? If someone could pair up Audacity and Shazam with audio streaming....we might really have something - Please, app developers out there ??

Infuriatingly riddled with bugs. The track identifier rarely works, with random artwork being generated, inconsistency of album names, and regular mix ups when the artist is given as the composer and vice versa. Regular hanging on PC. Track identifier works, then doesn't, requiring a completely reinstall. Annoyingly the developers seem to know about this and yet...

It is so terrible! I click the button but nothing work! I can hear the songs!

Summary

This software don't work for me. Finally I use another tool, Tenorshare iGetting Audio! It is so helpful. It works like a charm! It helps me a lot. I download it from:
http://download.cnet.com/iGetting-Audio/3000-2170_4-76168651.html

I tried the 7 day free trial first1st problem is on the 7 day free trial you can only identify 10 tracks you have downloaded, so what is the point in a 7 day trial?It downloaded 10 tracks from a streaming site, but incorrectly identified 3 of them [wrong song and/or wrong artist]Tracks worked OK on identifying on Shazam on iPhone so they were not obscure tracks. Customer service in China? could not help, so I uninstalled. Worse as soon as I uninstalled my wifi internet stack was altered and todate I am still unable to get it running again on the laptop I used.

I contacted customer service in China? and they said reinstall

Summary

I cannot believe the good reviews for this product.....it just does not work properly, giving incorrect info in 30% of downloadsand probably screwing my computers register.

Does what is it supposed to do. The trial period was fine, I decided to purchase and works as advertised. Very intuitive. The auto-tag works great (not perfect). BUT...

Cons

.. Like DSunhammer said, I'm glad they didn't get my bank account. The software totally takes over your system and OS. I was able to reject all crapware offers during the install process but still it has a brain of its own. It becomes your default software to open video and audio files. Changing it on the windows preferences only affects that session until the next Windows reboot. Takes longer than itunes or WMP to load so it would definitely NOT be my preferred player. It affects your audio drivers, volume, delays audio and more while open.

Summary

If you know what you are doing, it is recommended. Otherwise, watch out.
